Judge Jensen worked with the family member of a party to my case. She attends church with family members to the opposing party as well, and has openly admitted to having a friendship for over 15 years. She had a Facebook page, and she and her husband, Chris jensen, both had the opposing parties family members on the site as friends. When her Facebook and personal relationship were complained about to the appeals courts, she deleted her entire facebook, but yet 3 years of litigation, she refused to recuse herself. I have no history of domestic violence, alcohol or drug abuse, or child maltreatment, however she was vindictive and took my children and gave them to a known abuser and drug addict and alcoholic. Complaints filed with judicial disabilities.

great temperament - willing to listen to point of view - if she sees there is "bad blood" between council, she will make an attempt, privately, to resolve, before doing it in open court - a breath of fresh air from her predesessor
